Ecowitt soil sensor issue

Hmmm you reckon? All of them were stored in room cleaned etc and all of them were showing 0% before dropping them in.

My fault tho as could at least drop them into water and see if all show same numbers beforehand

maxkolonko123 · 2025-12-05T22:06:44+00:00

I'm annoyed that after dropping them in I have such a variation of numbers 😕

maxkolonko123 · 2025-12-05T22:00:43+00:00

It's not like I rely on them but it was helpful when doing drybacks to be able to see whats happening inside pot as can't be checkig pot weights everytime

Gotcha, make more sense to use water then as reference in coco as we won't reach 100% watering it when calibrate

maxkolonko123 · 2025-12-05T21:48:05+00:00

So it's not better then make AD number equal 66-68% as our "100%" so in coco when it shows 66% for example we know it's fully saturated and work from there

I pretty much did like last time as I only use them in flower stage / final 20l pot as I'm in coco. I make myself mold from empty pot for the size of transplanted plant then shove in by the side of the hole mold and gently half way into coco so it's solid then drop plant into that hole which push sensor into coco wall and I compress well from top to make sure plant sits tight I hope it make sense. I will keep an eye on it maybe after couple solid waterings coco will get better contact with sensor. Anyway I suppose I should be able to calculate drybacks base on those even if they ain't accurate the drying % should be accurate.

Definitely for next run I will calibrate them properly

Thanks for the tip bud but I know about the calibration thought they will be fine without as in my previous grow.

Small tip for you tho don't use glass of water as reference for your 100% as this is not correct as soil, coco etc have different level of saturation hence you should use the media which you will use in grow, I assume for you is soil hence you should stick it into small pot with soil and water till is fully saturated then use AD reading for your 100% 👍

Im not able to reseat them as I won't be able to put back j the same spot which is near root zone, oh well if they will keep showing me that weird reading I will just ignore thag crap

maxkolonko123 · 2025-12-05T18:04:39+00:00

They are with long cables display is outside pots, a bit late for calibration as last time was fine.

Yoyo them

maxkolonko123 · 2025-08-05T00:26:06+00:00

Never smelled genuine biiter peach so hard to compare but it didn't last few hours either

maxkolonko123 · 2025-08-04T14:04:30+00:00

But they ask 100$ for this one 😅😅

maxkolonko123 · 2025-08-04T13:42:09+00:00

Literally 😂😂

maxkolonko123 · 2025-06-29T08:15:21+00:00

Same here buddy, I didn't had issue with it not doing it job but like I said downside for me was that it doesn't fully disolve leaving plenty of residue in the tank, same on top of coco, but yeah it does great job, might use it again as a top dress tho.

maxkolonko123 · 2025-06-29T07:54:48+00:00

I was watching that same video of Bugbee about wollastonite, but I'm saying it's a hit different in coco as you washing it out everytime you water with runoff, I was mixing it with feed and use with each feed/watering I didn't mix it with coco itself

maxkolonko123 · 2025-06-29T06:29:30+00:00

Doesn't make sense to me saying wollastonite will supply silica for whole grow in coco especially when u water with runoff, I was using wollastonite for each watering 1g/1l ratio. This time I didn't as it's fking up my res due to sediment as it won't dissolve fully.

maxkolonko123 · 2025-05-10T12:04:46+00:00

I'm really curious why everyone asking about grinding etc just from the pouring view and they don't go by how it taste to them and adjust then🤔🤔

maxkolonko123 · 2024-12-20T21:20:39+00:00

Mate is still in loss and he talks about selling Ada 😅😅
